🏃♂️ Ready, set, go! Over 50,000 runners are gearing up for the epic 2026 London Marathon this Sunday. Months of hard work and dedication are about to be put to the ultimate test in this 26.2-mile race through England’s capital! 🌟
But before you lace up and hit the streets, it’s crucial to avoid some last-minute mistakes that could unravel months of training. Running coach and mobility expert, James Wauchope, has shared his top tips on what NOT to do in the final 24 hours before the big day:
1️⃣ Skip the heavy, greasy, or spicy foods—they could upset your stomach when you need it most.
2️⃣ Keep high-fibre foods and unfamiliar supplements out of your diet to prevent any racer’s regret.
3️⃣ Cut back on alcohol and limit caffeine to avoid messing with your hydration and nerves.
4️⃣ Prioritise a good night’s sleep and stay well-hydrated to ensure you’re at peak performance.
James’s golden rule? Trust in your training, stick to what you know, and steer clear of any last-minute changes.
Whether you’re running or supporting, enjoy the marathon madness and good luck to everyone pounding the pavement this weekend! 🏅💪
